Is She Right Side Up or Upside Down?

I'm still a bit shocked that I saw Freelance Whales last night. They are absolutely amazing performers. Their music is so soothing and beautiful that I can't help but smile when I hear it.

They are wonderful so go check them out and fall in love with them. They're also really nice friendly people as well. :D

Seriously, if you haven't already discovered these beauties then get right on it. Your life will be so much lovelier.

Oh and their 2nd album Diluvia comes out this Tuesday and their first album Weathervanes is out now.

Over The Horizon

Despite what happened last night on Glee, my Klainebow is still in tact. Kurt and Blaine;s relationship might not be at the moment but my faith in their love for each other is. They'll find their way back to each other. That I'm positive of.

Some how...

Every time I look at you it's like the first time

Your Biggest Fan

The minute I saw this I just had to blog about it.

Darren Criss never ceases to amaze me. Us dedicated fans know how much we love, admire, appreciate, idolize and fanboy/girl out for this wonderful human being. But I think the most impressive thing is to know how much he loves, admires, appreciates and thanks us for being there for him no matter what.

For tonight's episode of Glee entitled "The Break-Up", Darren sang an acoustic version of the song Teenage Dream and not only did he record it for us all to buy and swoon over on iTunes but he did it because this song is very special to him (it's for first song he sang on Glee) and he knows that because it's dear to him, it's dear to us. He also wrote the most amazing letter to celebrate his 2nd Gleeversary on his personal facebook page thanking his fans for everything that we have done for him; for how much support we've given him, how much appreciation we've given him and ultimately how much love. I can't tell you how much this letter means to me and to all of those Darren Criss lovers out there. I have never known a celebrity to do anything of this magnitude before and for thank I thank him a hundred times over.

Here is the letter: It nearly brought tears to my eyes.

Dearest friends-

Though my very first episode aired on TV in November of 2010, the end of this past September actually marked the two year anniversary of a phone call that really turned my life upside down: I was notified that I had been cast as a new character on the popular television series, “Glee.”

Woah.

By that point, some of you had maybe known me from silly youtube videos, and for even less of you- from cafes, restaurants, and bars I used to play music at. Regardless of the when or the how or the why, it’s been been a pretty incredible journey for all of us since that phone call.

Some highlights:

In April of 2010, I was getting ready to start working on what some of you might now know as A Very Potter Musical. I was a senior at the University of Michigan, and I had just read an article about the cast members from the new hit TV series “Glee” singing at the White House. I thought, “Man, that’s insane.” Well, just this past June I took a song I wrote called “Not Alone” that I used in that very same musical I was working on in college, and sang it in person for the President himself... Shortly before I got to fist-bump him.

In July of 2011, I was asked to speak on a Harry Potter-based fan panel in San Diego. I thought I was a bit under-qualified for the job, but was nonetheless excited to be asked to speak on a panel at one of my favorite summer events: Comic-Con! When I got there, I realized that we were given a rough time slot because it was the same exact time as the panel for that same hit TV show, “Glee.” I thought, “Man, this ‘Glee’ thing is really stealin’ my thunder...” Ok, well, the very next year, I couldn’t do the HP fan panel again because I was on that Glee panel.

The crazy stories go on and on, not to mention the little things like magazine covers or hitting Billboard charts, or doing a film with the likes of amazing people like Kristen Wiig, Annette Bening, Matt Dillon... Let’s see, what else, oh, getting to live my dream of doing a Broadway show, and then of course, there was getting to sing “Rainbow Connection” with Kermit the Frog... I mean, these things are unbelievable. Unbelievable. I have a pretty wild imagination, but I never thought any of that could actually happen, let alone in such a relative short period of time.

Here’s the deal- I work hard, I try to make the right decisions and do the best I can with everything I do and all that good stuff- but really, that can only go so far. There are so many contributing factors to what has happened for me that go far beyond my control... And that’s where you come in. You, the fans, have been a huge part of the reason why I’ve been able to do half the things I’ve been able to do.

We live in an unprecedented age of social connectivity, and I am happy to say that you none of you have failed to take full advantage of that. Don’t think I’m not aware of how active the fandom is, or how much impact is has. Remember: Not only am I fan myself, but I do have an internet connection. I see the gifs, I see the fanfics, I see the memes, and it’s all amazing stuff. Though I haven’t met the majority of you, it’s a real thrill to know that many of your lives have come together on behalf of mine. That’s an incredibly moving concept, and the fact that those connections have yielded so much positivity is something even more amazing.

Let’s take my own stories out of the picture for a second- you, as a group, have all accomplished some pretty amazing things yourselves. You done everything from raising money for great causes to organizing awesome flash mobs over the internet to show your support. You have shown up at the crack of dawn and stayed until you’re the last one standing. You have come together to create something far greater than any of us: a real sense of community and a genuine place of support- not just for me but for each other. And I can safely say that I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for that.

Oftentimes I meet people who challenge me, “You have no idea what you’ve done for me.” Well the truth is, it’s the other way around. I do have an idea, and a pretty good one at that. Because for whatever you may think I may be giving you, you are actually giving back to me, tenfold. And I am constantly wondering when and if it will fade, who will stick around, who will get bored- I often think about the day there won’t be anyone on the other side of the stage door... but despite myself, as time goes on, you all have never ceased to amaze me with your enthusiasm, creativity, and seemingly endless joy that continues to inspire and encourage me.

Tonight is the premiere of the dreaded break-up episode. For many Glee fans, I imagine there will more than reason to be sad. But cheer up, think of it this way: much of your support has allowed me to be on this show long enough to reach a breakup in the first place; it has created a relationship that people cared enough about whereby it was even worth writing an episode about its potential end. I never thought I would get to be around long enough for something like that. And I really have you, the fans to thank for it. It’s something to be proud of.

What’s more, I was even asked to play my own arrangement of teenage dream for this episode- an acoustic piano version which so many of you have supported since I sang it as my first song on my very first episode. I started playing this version at shows as a sort of “thank you” to the fans, for making it such a big song for both myself and the show. It was the song that started everything.

So before the episode airs tonight, I thought it was only appropriate to write a fully fledged note to all of you that could express my deep appreciation for the past two years since that crazy phone call. I hope that this is just the beginning, and that I get to thank you many more times for many more adventures as the years roll by. But for now, know that I am so very grateful for everything you’ve given me, and I am very proud of what we have accomplished together. From teenage dream to teenage dream, thank you for allowing me to live mine.

your biggest fan,
Darren

I think this letter says it all. Just seeing the words "your biggest fan" coming from him means so much to me that I can't even handle it. I just... Darren you are an amazing person and it's because you stay true to you that we are able to stay true to us. 

Loving you until my dying day. 

Your Very Own You

 *Disclaimer* This is my little bit of fandom ranting and evaluating.

I think Blaine is slowly changing. He's becoming the individual he once was when he was a Warbler. The person who didn't need someone else to be there to help him become someone. However, when he found Kurt he found the part of himself he never knew he was missing. He found the strength that he didn't have before. He found the ability to be okay with himself and the way he lives his life. When Kurt came into his life he discovered so much more about himself. But now that Kurt's gone he needs to reevaluate everything about himself. Why he came to McKinley and why he joined the Glee Club. Now that he doesn't have his better half around he needs to fill in that half himself. He needs to figure out what he wants to be...who he wants to be without Kurt. He needs to find out who he really is. He needs to do this on his own and discover his very own Blaine. I think he's finally doing that.

I think he will be a better person for it.

Many people say that Blaine saved Kurt. But I think Kurt saved Blaine. Kurt brought Blaine out of his comfort zone. They went to prom together (despite the fact that Blaine got beat up for wanting to go to a prom at his old high school), they held hands in public, they sang emotional songs to each without any doubts. No matter what happens between him and Kurt they will finally realize that they can each be their own person. They can be their own heroes...whether they're together or apart.

This, however, does not in any way mean that I will be okay when and if Klaine breaks up. I will be torn up inside. Literally. But I will just have to remind myself that their is plenty of time for them to find each other again. Whether it's just a few episodes later or at the end of the season, when they do find their way back to each they will have become better people. They will be able to have a better relationship, one that's stronger and more tender. One that is simply Klaine.

Whatever the outcome of "The Break-Up" episode will be, one thing will remain true: Everything is Klaine and Nothing Hurts. These two are soul mates and soul mates can conquer anything.

So until we find out what happens, I'd like to dedicate this song to Kurt and Blaine. (I shall be changing all of the '"She's" to "He's". I think Ricky would prefer it that way anyways.)

[He's] All I'll Ever Need by Ricky Martin

He's all, he's all I ever had

He's the air I breathe, yeah

He's all, he's all I ever

It's the way he makes me feel

It's the only thing that's real

It's the way he understands

He's my lover, he's my friend

When I look into his eyes

It's the way I feel inside

Like the man I wanna be

He's all I'll ever need

Wow, this is the longest post I've had in a few months. I think that's my cue to stop jabbering. Well I'll leave you with this: May Klaine always be the shining rainbow above your head that makes you believe in love. :D

Welcome to Your Life...

There's no turning back....

Hey Blaine Anderson, your Darren Criss is showing. :D


Wizards and superheroes. It's nice to see some Darren peaking through all that hair gel.

Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while we sleep

We will find you

Acting on your best behavior

Turn your back on mother nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design

It's my own remorse

Help me to design

Help me make the

Most of freedom

And of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room

Where the light won't find you

Holding hands

While the walls come tumbling down

When they do I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it

So sad they had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision

Married with a lack of vision

Everybody wants to rule the...

Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it

One hair line, why believe it

Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom

And for pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

Careful what you wish for...

I want to be in love.

I want to have young teenage love like Kurt and Blaine.

I want to have grown up love like David and Brian from The New Normal.

I want to be in love with an adorable boy who makes me smile.

I am aware that I base true love off of gay tv show couples but those couples are the only ones that I really believe in and root for. (That's probably because these boys are so cute and I love boys. If I were a guy I would totally be gay. I wouldn't wanna be with a chick. Just sayin')

Love is love man and I want it.

I really do...
